In 2011, there were 73 new cases reported in Dakar. The circumstances of discovery are often dermatologic or neurologic. Few case reports describe an association with chronic inflammatory colitis, probably fortuitous. We report the case of a 30-year-old woman who had a tuberculoid leprosy revealed by active ulcerative colitis. Treatment according to the WHO protocol of leprosy, combined with corticosteroids and then methotrexate, resulted in healing of the leprosy and remission of the colitis.
